I'll be out there all year scouting for deer/ bear as well. My first year hunting out there as well. Been out there a few times scouting already. Good luck!

There are plenty of places in 460/Hancock Snoqualmie that have bear sign. In the spring, look for peeled trees in 10-15 year regrowth. Once you know what type of stand to look for, you'll be supprised how much you see. PM to follow.

I bought myself a permit for the first time if you'd like some company the next time you head up that way.

Planning on going out the first weekend in May if you're interested.
Always carry a flagon of whiskey in case of snakebite and furthermore always carry a small snake

Did not know what to think reading the opening post but glad that's all cleared up lol. Go scout it out tho man find some bears so come august time you wi know where to be and you'll hopefully punch a tag, but yes your 30-06 with 180s will easily punch a bear at 150+ yards sense no one cleared that up lol.

But no spring hunt in 460 ;-)
Boom boom boom...

It's my first season in several years for deer etc. (combo license) any advice for Hancock land? I figure it's a ton of land and it's within 45 min of me. Trail Cams get taken? tree stands? Trucks messed with? Pressure? Just a few questions I was hoping to get answers to. Thanks in advance?

There is some pressure but I have never had any issues with thieves or seen anyone suspicious.  It's half the reason I buy the pass - to be able to lock the gate behind me.  I do try to avoid parking near the county road that runs through the center of the property.
